Hotel Trezzo, Milan

Advantages: Clean, safe, elegant, friendly
Disadvantages: None I can think of - perhaps lack of taxis

...speak pretty much no Italian worth mentioning, I soon worked out what 'prego' (you're welcome), 'grazie' (thank you) and 'scusi' (excuse me) meant, because you hear them ALL the time. People hold doors open for you, and ....get this!.....even stop dead in their tracks rather than walk infront of a person trying to capture a street scene with their camera!!! That says a lot for a city full of people who are supposedly all hussle-bussle and work orientated!! If anyone is seriously thinking about going - I'd thoroughly recommend Ryanair airlines. Our return flights were about £25 each. And our 3* much-more-than-adequate hotel was also booked on the Ryanair 'Find me a hotel' site - with much much cheapness too. I'm actually going back to Milan in May. (With my boyfriend this time - as I think my travel tales sold it to him!). It... Read review

Advantages: Good shops, architecture and food!
Disadvantages: Cost and language.

...nights at this hotel. It was a 4* and very nice. We booked this through expedia.co.uk. It didn't have everything stated on the website but was good. If you are on a budget we found expedia a good option. Food and Drink When we arrived at the hotel we were hungry and wanted a beer, we had a wander around and after walking half of Milans ground found a restaurant - it looked very quiet and it was 11.30 so we thought we'd get a take away - we got 2 pizzas for 11 euro and found in the town the pizzas were 6 to 7 euro each so not badly prices at all and they are yummy. The drinks are very cheap in supermarkets, so if you are likely to be drinking at your hotel, I would suggest buying from a supermarket rather than an off license, mini bar or hotel bar. We paid 24 euro for 4 small bottles of budweiser at the hotel bar - how silly are we... Read review

Advantages: Vibrant, cosmopolitan city and stunningly beautiful lakes
Disadvantages: Pricey, dirty and plagued by annoying gypsies

...I went to Milan in early May with my partner. I still don’t really know why I went there, but I suppose I was attracted by the allure of the big city as well as the proximity of the beautiful lakes of northern Italy. I stayed for 7 nights and paid £450 in total for the flight, hotel and transfers to and from the airport. Another £300 or so was spent during the holiday on travel, eating out and entertainment. There is a lot to say, so I have subdivided my comments into suitable headings: HOTEL: The hotel, called “Delle Nazioni”, was situated within walking distance of the railway station; this was infact one of the reasons why I chose it. Despite being rated three stars, it was a big disappointment; it would have rated no more than two stars in the UK. The room was very small and, although facing the inner courtyard... Read review
